Eion's away for three weeks on 'BusTrip', helping drive a bus full of uni students more than 3000kms from Perth to 'the east' for a conference and church-based missions with Christian uni students from all over the south pacific. We're both excited that he's been able to go this year, and sad that it means 3 weeks apart. This is day 3 of 21 (or so, depending on how many times the bus breaks down ... these trips are rarely hiccough-free) that Ngaire's stuck with mummy only. So far, we're still alive and fairly well ... am praying that this'll continue by God's strength.
In true BusTrip spirit, they've had at least one hiccough already ... here's casualty number 1:
The trailer lost a wheel / axle broke just past Meckering, which means they were probably only on the road for 2 hours before breakdown number one took place! Oh well, by God's grace it meant only being held-up for a couple of hours while the replacement trailer was driven out from Perth, rather than being stuck for a day or so in the middle of the Nullarbor, waiting for it to get sorted out. Kinda funny and kinda sad ... but oh, so very BusTrip!
